…well, actually whole album.
The whole album, every one of its songs has nice catchy melodies, and interesting stuff. Perfect production. Superb!
One of the best releases off 2009 without any doubt. It surely is not the first time I agree with the critics.
By the way, the band is not that fine in live. The singer can’t almost get his falsetto as high as in the studio…
Defining a genre, that’s what they did. You cannot help but be driven into a groovy yet calmful trip of basses and soft melodies…
It could be sweet
Amour, Imagination, Rêve. They couldn’t have choiced a better name for this band.
The bass-lines mixed with the jazzy keyboards, both present and driving every song, define the atmospheric, rainy and sexy sound of the group.
This is what drives me to think the way they compose the songs: Godin with the bass guitar, Dunckel with a keyboard, a rainy parisian evening, and everything with a sepia-tone filter.
Only the last two songs (california and brake on), both of which were not present in the original release and were latter added on regular releases, are out of place. Its fast paced and happy-go-lucky feeling have nothing to do with the rest of the work. They feel awkwardly out of place.
